Have you tried chilling the air as it comes out of the tank?
One easy way would be to put some extra hose coiled in a bucket
of ice. Make sure you have a drip loop or drain (or several)
after the chiller cause your going to get ALOT of water out
of the cooler air. (Well ALOT of water down here in
New Orleans where the humidity is often 100percent!)
